DESCRIPTION
*We’ll work through 4 movements in this longer, all bodyweight workout
*Every 2 minutes, starting at the beginning of the workout, you’ll complete 40 Double Unders/Line Hops
*With the remaining time in the 2-minute window, get as far as you can into the rounds of squats, push-ups, and reverse burpees
*When the clock hits the next 2 minute interval, you’ll complete 40 more double unders before picking up where you left off
*Your score is total rounds and reps completed at the end of 20 minutes
*The double under and line hop reps do not count towards your score
DOUBLE UNDERS
*Choose a number or variation that you can ideally complete in around 30 seconds – giving you 1:30 to work through rounds of the scored portion of the workout
*You’ll complete double unders on the (0-2-4-6-8-10-12-14-16-18)
PUSH-UPS
*Choose a number or variation that you can complete in no more than 4 sets
*Ensure the chest hits the floor and elbows lock out at the top of each rep
REVERSE BURPEES
*A reverse burpee is essentially a combination of a sit-up and a burpee
*You’ll lay all the way back on the ground and use your momentum to transition to a standing position
*At the top, just like in a regular burpee, get a little jump and clap overhead before laying back down

TEACHING
THE HANDS
One thing to keep in mind on these movements is what your hands are doing
Push-ups: Set-up with the hands directly underneath the shoulders
Double Unders: Keep the hands relaxed and in front of the hips bones throughout the movement
Reverse Burpees: Get a lot of momentum out of the sit-up portion of the movement by throwing your hands and bodyweight forward
TIPS
Try to work through bigger sets of push-ups, as that is the only upper body movement in the workout
Place your rope neatly on the ground to make for easy transitions back and forth between movements – which will allow you to get more work done over the 20 minutes

DAILY MINDSET
“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.”
~Albert Einstein
We don’t get what we want.
We get what we expect.
The world will treat us the way we expect to be treated. If we believe it’s “dog eat dog”, and “every man for himself”, then we are doomed to believe so. The lens we’ll see through will be of defensiveness, comparison, and general hostility… even when it’s not even there to begin with.
But the opposite can also be true.
Our expectations become our realities.
It’s not good enough to want it. We have to believe it.
